What is so special about Cannon Beach?
Where to begin! For many years Cannon Beach has been widely publicized as a top U.S. beach destination through well known and respected media such as MSN.com and, most recently, The Wall Street Journal. Home to Haystack Rock, a 265 foot tall free-standing monolith and the 3rd largest of its kind in the world, Cannon Beach boasts 4 miles of pristine beach enjoyable at all tides and times (except perhaps during some of our famed winter storms!). Maintained by a local year round population of approximately 1700 souls, our community is a frequent and favorite Northwest destination for day-trippers, weekend get-a-ways, and week+ vacations. Cannon Beach features many fine galleries, shops and dining establishments for many tastes. You can preview a more elaborate sample of local activities and interests at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce website, or through locally organized Cannon Beach.net.
